Chapter 114: Meridian Network
Inspector Su smiled: "Theoretically, it is true, but this is almost impossible. ”
"The so-called meridian network is to connect the acupuncture points in the body one by one, and finally form a closed network, and each acupuncture point cannot be repeated."
"According to this principle, if there are three acupuncture points, the simplest three-vein network can be formed."
"The four acupuncture points can form a four-vein network."
"There are a total of 108 meridians and acupuncture points in the human body, so the largest and most complex meridian network is the exercise with 108 vein routes."
"It seems that there is no problem, just need to open up the meridians step by step, but in practice, once the meridian network is formed, every time a meridian is added in the later stage, the difficulty will increase exponentially."
said.
Inspector Su took out three small wooden sticks out of nowhere and arranged them in a triangle on the ground between the two.
"Let's say you're three interconnected rivers, and when you want to carve out a fourth river on the side and connect with those three rivers perfectly, what do you think you should do?"
He took out a fourth stick and handed it over.
Ling Jiuqiu subconsciously took it.
His eyes fell on the triangle, and he immediately lowered the fourth stick in his hand, one of which was next to one of the vertices of the triangle, and the other was a little farther away.
One of the sticks that make up the triangle is then rotated to connect with the other end of the fourth.
The original triangle became a parallelogram.
"Reroute one of the rivers and connect it with the fourth to form a new closed loop."
Ling Jiuqiu was determined.
Inspector Su nodded:
"The word closed loop is very vivid."
"Have you thought about it, now you have just a few sticks in your hand, which you can easily pick up, put down, or turn."
"But if it's really a river, and it's full of rushing water, you can't stop the river and wait for you to divert it, and when the fourth river is dug up, you have to cut off the original third river in one go, so that a lot of it rushes directly through the fourth river."
"In this process, if the fourth newly dug river channel can't withstand the sudden surge of water and collapses, what will happen if it collapses?"
"Or if the diversion is not timely, where will the surging water pour after the third river is cut off?"
Inspector Su said with a solemn face:
"The consequence is that all rivers will turn into devastating floods that will wreak havoc in all directions."
"This is only the fourth river."
"You can imagine that when you have built a hundred interconnected rivers in the whole country of Luo'an, which are full of rushing water, and at this time, you add the 101st river."
"You have to cut off the 100th river directly and divert it, and if there is a slight mistake in the pool, these 100 rivers may completely collapse and turn into a monstrous flood that will submerge the entire Luo'an country."
"It's called pulling a hair and moving the whole body."
"The meridians in the human body are rivers, and they are the rivers of true qi that are constantly rushing and have great destructive power."
"With the improvement of cultivation, more and more meridians are opened, and the speed of true qi is surging faster and faster, and it is naturally more and more difficult to connect to new meridians."
"Of course, the amplification effect is getting stronger and stronger."
"The level of cultivation is also divided by the number of meridians, the three veins are the lower grade of the yellow grade, the six veins are the middle grade of the yellow grade, and the nine veins are the upper grade of the yellow grade, and there are three meridians between each grade."
"And so on, 18 to 27 pulses, respectively, from the lower grade to the upper grade."
"36 veins to 45 veins, respectively, the lower grade to the upper grade at the prefecture level."
"At the heavenly level, the gap between each grade is nine meridians, 54 veins are heaven-level lower grades, 63 veins are heaven-level middle grades, and 72 veins are heaven-level upper grades."
"The strongest is the god level, from 81 veins to 99 veins, which are from the lower grade to the upper grade of the god level."
Ling Jiuqiu suddenly asked, "Isn't there a 108-vein exercise?" ”
Inspector Su glanced at him: "The Xianwu Continent is too big, and I'm not sure if I have it or not, but in my knowledge, I have never heard of the perfect exercises of the 108 veins." ”
"True Martial Mixed Yuan Gong is a heaven-level high-grade exercise, with a total of twenty-four levels, cultivated to the fullest, able to open up 72 meridians, this is already a magical exercise that countless people dare not think of, don't be too ambitious."
Ling Jiuqiu nodded: "I understand, I just want to figure out how much gap there is between me and the top." ”
"The Bafang Martial Arts Arena is a super-large force, it is one of the four major forces in Luo'an Kingdom, the heaven-level exercises are already the top, and the god-level exercises can only depend on personal chance."
"So, you can change the exercises later?"
Ling Jiuqiu's expression suddenly moved.
"Since the meridians can be rerouted, it is natural that the entire meridian network can be replaced little by little, and many meridians of the heaven-level exercises are connected, but only some of them are changed."
"It's just that this is much more difficult than the process of opening up the meridians, unless you are lucky enough to obtain a god-level exercise, there is no need to change it."
Ling Jiuqiu thought for a while and continued to ask:
"Since the number of meridians determines the level of the exercises, can we directly open up the other meridians on the basis of the 72 meridians, so that we will not reach the level of god-level exercises?"
For many of his questions, Inspector Su showed patience and carefully explained:
"There are two problems with this."
"First, taking the True Martial Mixed Yuan Gong as an example, these 72 meridians are not connected at random, but have a specific order."
"Just like the strokes of words, the same three wooden sticks, different people put out different words, I may pose a 'work' word, you may pose a 'dry' word, and the illiterate may pose a messy shape."
"When I give you 72 strokes, what words can you pose?"
He shook his head.
"In fact, no matter how many strokes there are, they can't produce any meaning, and only when they are combined into words can they convey information to people."
"It's the same with the exercises, after several meridians are connected at will, they don't have any effect, only in a specific order can a kind of void power be produced to increase the combat power."
"Every exercise is a variety of experiences summed up by countless ancestors with their lives, and it is not something that can be added if you want to."
Ling Jiuqiu nodded suddenly.
Inspector Su sighed with emotion: "So, don't look at the god-level exercises are just a few more meridian routes, but the ancestors have paid countless more lives to summarize the magical exercises, each of which is a precious treasure of mankind." ”
Ling Jiuqiu couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Inspector Su say that there are two problems?" What else is there? ”
Inspector Su did not answer, but asked:
"As I said earlier, the later you reach the cultivation of the exercises, the more difficult and dangerous it is to open up a meridian, have you ever thought about it, since it is so dangerous, in ordinary battles, isn't it that a certain meridian is disrupted, and you will immediately die because of the riot of true qi all over your body?"
Ling Jiuqiu was stunned: "That's right, since the meridian network is in danger of a full-scale outbreak at any time, what's the use of hard cultivation?" ”
